With regard to the SAFE Act and its enforcement, consider this: Every law enforcement officer and every military man takes an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. They do not take an oath to ruthlessly enforce any law no matter how ill-conceived it is.

What does the oath to preserve the Constitution mean then? In this day and age, it could be a mere formality, words you are required to say in order to assume office.

Another meaning might be an oath of obedience to the majority opinion of the Supreme Court. This meaning is based on the theory that only five people out of 300 million of us really understand the true meaning of the Constitution.

Finally, the oath could be a personal acceptance of the heavy responsibility to decide for oneself, with good counsel from others, what the Constitution means and how to preserve that meaning.

If you believe that your liberties are best trusted in the hands of legislatures, courts, and blindly obedient law enforcement officers, you are going to get exactly what you deserve to get.
